Sheriff Carman's Successor.

On Thursday Governor Lloyd appointed
Dir. Thomas B. jarrett, of TIE fourth district,
to fill out the unexpired term of the late Shcr-
III Robert r, Carman.
Mr. Jarrett is nearly fifty years of age aud
has been engaged 10 store-keeping at Jar
ret.sville for many years past. He is now
connected with the firm of NJ L. Jarrett &
Co., at that place. Mr.. Jarrett is a quiet, un-
assuming, popular gentleman and will doubt
less fill the position with credit to himself and
with satisfaction 10 the public. He was Mr.
Carman's chief competitor for the Democrat
denomination, in 1885, having received 1888
votes 10 1881 votes for Mr.. Carman.
1t is not known who will be appointed dep
uty sheriff.
Mr.. James V. Whiteford, the present depu-
ty sheriff, had strong backing for appoint
ment. On Wednesday both Mr.. jarrett and
Mr. Whiteford, with their respective friends,
had interviews with the Governor. Mr..
W. Smilhson Forwood, of Bel Air,
was also named in connection with the
appointment, but did not press the matter.
The question of Sheriff Jarrett's eligibility
for reelection next fall has been much dis
cussed and opinions differ with regard to it.
The Constitution says the Sheriff "shall hold
his office for two years. aud until his success
sor is duly elected and qualified; shall be inc
ligible for two years thereafter" and shall give
bond, &c.

CIuyerius Hanged.

Thomas j. Cluverius, aged 25, was hanged
at Richmond, last Friday, for the murder OF
his cousin, F. Lillian Madison, in March, 1885.
The body of the young lady was found in the
old reservoir at Richmond, and although the
case was at first supposed to be one of suicide,
a reporter ofthe Richmond Dispatch pointed
out the strong probability that murder had
been committed. Circumstances pointed to
Cluverius and although the evidence was
entirely circums,antial the jury and large
majority of thinking people who followed the
progress of the case were convinced of the
prisoners guilt. Cluverius, il appeared,
played double character. He was superin-
tendent of Sunday School in his native
county, King and Queen, and while possess
ing the confidence Of the moral portion of the
community was noted among his boon COM
panions as backyard of the vilest type
lie was engaged 10 be married to a young
lady ofthe highest respectability and it is
believed that to prevent his shame being
known, he murdered his pretty cousin. APP
peal after appeal was made in his behalf but
Gov Lee, after examining the case thorough
y, refused 10 yield. Cluverius protested his
innocence to the last

A Blow Mt MOrmOnism.

The Anti-Mormon bill which has passed
the House makes polygamy felony and dis
solves the financial corporations known as
the Latter-Day Saints and the perpetual
Emigration Fund Company, and practically
abolshes all the machinery, religious or poll
tical, that is now employed directly or ind-
rectly in the maintenance of the Mormon
Church system. There are differences of
opinion as TO the wisdom and justice ofthe
policy, but the friends of the measure lust
passed assume that the malady is of such q
terrible nature as TO require heroic treatment.
Its opponents say it would be better to wait
upon the slow attritions of time and the pres
sure of public opinion to wear the evil out
The Republicans pledged themselves to
eradicate polygamy in 1856, more than thirty
years ago. They held power for nearly a
quarter of a century and as Mormonism still
flourshcs it is left for the Democrats TO per.
form duty which the Republicans neglect
ed or else could not do. OF course everybody
desires that the twin relic of barbarism" shall
be destroyed, If ii can be done without strain
ing the Constitution. Hon. Randolph
Tucker, of Virginia, who reported the Anti.
Mormon bill, held that there was nothing in
it that could hurt the conscience even of a
Mormon. If he thought there was, he said
he would vote against it.
